According to police accounts, the two 17-year-olds are students at Upper Darby High School. The Philadelphia teen uses a friend's house as an address to attend Upper Darby.

The victim, a mother of a 2-year-old child, was abducted at about 11:30 p.m. Tuesday.

"This was a sadistic crime, the kind of crime that shakes up the human consciousness," police Superintendent Michael Chitwood said. "They were looking for somebody to rob and see her come out of the bar. She came out to have a cigarette and was sitting in the car looking at pictures in her cellphone on a lot at Marshall and Grace roads, waiting for her boyfriend to come out of the bar.

"Three guys came up and pushed her aside and carjacked the car. Over the next five hours, they drove all through Philadelphia, raping and sodomizing and robbing her. She remembers seeing Allegheny Avenue and Cheltenham Avenue."

Criminal Investigator Ray Blohm said during the ride each of the three men switched from the front seat to the back seat taking turns assaulting the victim.

"One of the males pointed the gun at the victim's head while the male with the brown-copper hair forced her head down (into his lap)," Blohm wrote in the affidavit. "The victim stated she then began to vomit on the male. (Another) male threatened the victim to stop crying and stated, 'Hurry up and do it faster if you ever want to see your daughter again.' The victim stated she vomited again. The victim pleaded for her life and to just let her go to see her daughter."

Chitwood added that they withdrew about $15 from her bank.

"They took her Coach (brand) handbag, her cellphone, camera, GPS, jewelry, identification card and credit cards, threatened to kill her and threatened to kill her daughter and her mother and told her not to call police," Chitwood said. "This was a violent, vicious crime that went from robbery to a kidnapping and rape.

"She pleaded for them to let her go. During the entire ordeal, they threatened her saying they had her identification and knew where she lived. They dropped her off on Long Lane. They parked the car and threw the keys under the car. They told her to wait a little bit before getting out of the car. It's amazing what she went through."

According to Chitwood, the two juveniles were arrested when police responded to a disturbance call at 5:21 a.m. Wednesday at a house on the 7100 block of Radbourne Road.

"(Officer Michael) Begany and (Officer Randy) Desrosiers responded to the call and they see a Coach bag and put two and two together," Chitwood said. "Detectives picked it up after that and did a nice job under (Lt. Bill) Kane. They transported the victim to the house and she identified two of them right there. Through investigation, we identified the third guy involved and went to his house and found him hiding in the bathtub."

The victim was transported to Delaware County Memorial Hospital to be examined and treated for minor injuries to her head from being hit with the gun, which was a replica 9 mm BB gun.
